Apart from those garbage adapter fish eye lenses, is the Samyang 8mm the cheapest fisheye lens around for Canon dslrs? Are there any other cheap ones?

Is the Samyang 8mm the cheapest fisheye around?
- Thread starter ajedproduction
- Start date
Polaroid 8mm f/3.5 - $269.99 (not available in the UK)
Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 - $279.95 (£224.95 in the UK)
Rokinon 8mm F3.5 - $289 (not available in the UK)
Samyang 8mm f/3.5 - $299 (£219 in the UK)
My guess is that most of these are made in the same factory.
Hope this is helpful,
Bill

Wheatgrinder turned me onto Raynox lenses which I've been pleased with several.

Price data is a bit dated and maybe the specs: http://www.don-sara-parsons.com/raynox/vtu.html
